Are Getting New Seats.

M. G. Minford. L. D. Hiatt. and W.

some thirty-five new single seats,
for the grammar room, which will
be installed -within the next few
days, and which will add greatly to
the convenience of the scholars.
These seats of the latest and most
approved pattern, and are for but
one student, not the double seats as
have been the plan in the past. The
ones which these are to supplant
have been in use for a number of
years, and it was surely a needed
improvement in their purchase.
